TODAY IS FASD DAY.
September 9 is the 9th day of the 9th month, chosen in recognition of the nine months of pregnancy and as a reminder of the importance of supporting healthy pregnancies.
Part of that work begins before a baby is born.
Through our Healthy Futures Program, we support pregnant women in our communities by helping remove barriers and providing practical, compassionate support for a healthy pregnancy.
Because healthy pregnancies aren’t just about knowing what to do. They’re about having the resources, support and connections that make healthy choices possible.
We’ve come a long way in how we talk about FASD and alcohol-exposed pregnancies. We know that stigma and judgement don’t help people — support does.
There is still work to do.
We need to continue creating communities where pregnant women feel safe asking for help, where conversations about alcohol and pregnancy can happen without shame, and where people can access the support they need when they need it.
That’s what Healthy Futures is about.
Supporting women. Supporting healthy pregnancies. Supporting healthier futures.
